COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: WATER MAIN EASEMENT VACATION AT 230 SOUTH DUFF AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
The property owner is in the process of developing the lot at 230 South Duff Avenue
(northeast corner of South Duff Ave and SE 3rd Street). The lot currently has a 12" water
main that runs from east to west through the middle of the lot. Attachment A shows the
existing lot, water main, and easement.
The configuration of the proposed building would be in conflict with the water main. The
main needs to be relocated and placed in a new easement or to be abandoned with the
existing easement vacated. Staff has evaluated the water main in the location and
determined that there is no need to have this level of redundancy within the water
system in this area. The lot can be served from existing mains on both the east and
west sides of the property. Thus, the main can be abandoned and the easement
vacated without any negative consequences. The developer will be responsible for the
costs related to the abandonment of the existing main.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set January 27, 2015, as the date of public hearing for the proposed vacation of
the existing water main easement at 230 South Duff Avenue.
2. Direct staff to pursue other options.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Since the main is no longer required for redundancy and the lot can be served from
other mains adjacent to the site, abandoning the main and vacating the easement will
allow the property owner to develop the property in a more cost effective manner.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as described above.
